Today's the last day Caca and his family are in Yumna's room. During their stay in Jakarta they stayed at Yumna's house. Because it just so happens that there is an empty room that can be used for guests if anyone visits his house. Just like Caca and his family.
During that time, Caca's little girl kept clinging to Ali. The girl did not want to leave Ali. He just kept following where Ali was going. Except when you enter the room. Because there's no way Mika will come with Ali into her room. Although Mika was a child, it was not allowed by Caca. However, we must be polite in the people's room. That was Caca's advice to the princess.
"Wouldn't you come home with Mika?" The girl is posing next to Ali who is watching television.
Ali looked at the girl beside him with a gentle look. "No Deck, Adek will know that Brother is still in college. Later if Abang holiday will definitely go there again," comfort Ali. She knew the girl was sad because she did not come with Mika to their hometown.
"Isss but Mika wants Brother to join Mama and Papa as well" she replied sulkingly.
"If you join Adek, continue to lecture Brother how, hmm?" Ali poked the little girl's pointy chin.
"Abang college in our village. There was also Bang's college, "her proposal made Ali anxious with the little girl next to him.
"Yes can't be that Dek, besides Abang here also requires knowledge. Later if you are already big adek can also study at Abang's place. Stay can also be in the same house Mother," explained Ali staring at Mika anxious.
Mika looked at Ali with a funny look. "Anger really? Mika can also go to college at Brother's? will we meet there Bang?" ask the girl enthusiastically.
"Yes Dek, you can stay here nemenin Mommy," replied Ali. The young man shook his head. "later Mika will not meet Abang on campus. Because Brother is finished." continued Ali made the girl back to snatch.
"If so Mika does not want to study at Abang's place. My brother was not there, "The girl folded her arms around her chest. Like a teenager who already understands what a college place is or something.
"Dengerin Brother, Deck. If one day the adek is big then the adek will understand. Just like today adek is still SD, someday adek will definitely enter SMP right?" Ali looked at the girl who was answered with a nod. "nah is the same as Brother who will finish from college, and Brother will work. But if you still attend school again for six years after finishing Elementary. Just like the old brother who also ngalamin the same thing like adek." explained Ali gently to the girl.
"If six years must be long Bang," his answer pursed his lips.
"It won't be long if Adek doesn't count the day. Just walk first will definitely feel fast," said Ali gently so that the girl understood what he said.
Mika just nodded. No more words came out of that tiny mouth. The girl chose to be quiet and stared straight at the on-air television broadcasting children's broadcasts.

At one o'clock in the afternoon Caca was done cleaning up his things that he was going to bring home. The things he brought today were indeed a little more. Yesterday he bought souvenirs to take to the village.
The clothes that Caca was wearing had been replaced with clean clothes, not forgetting the woman sprayed perfume on her clothes.
"Yum, I left first yes, after all in front of the taxi I had ordered," Caca told Yumna.
"Yes Ca, be careful yes," Yumna replied with a sweet smile.
Be careful on Om's road, Tan," Ali said as they got into the car.
"Yes Li, thank you," replied Rangga who answered a nod from Ali.
"Abang, Mika go home first. Later if you have a holiday do not forget to go home so that we can play again," said the little girl to bend her head out of the taxi.
Ali gave her thumb to the girl. "Ok Mika, that's for sure" Ali replied with a smile to the girl.

The day goes on. It did not feel like for two years Yumna lived with her son in a city full of bustle of society.
The days they lived were full of happiness without any sense of crying coming. The stall that Yumna used to manage had him remodeled. It got even bigger with five employees. Yumna no longer goes to the stall, all of which he leaves to Siva as the in charge of the stall.
Yumna would only come once a week to his stall. Maybe now it is not a stall anymore because it is not like a stall. It can be said like a shop.
"Today you go to the store, right?" he asked the son who was sitting on a chair while playing the laptop on his lap. The young man may have completed his college work.
"What time is it?" ali asked when the Mother was sitting next to him.
Yumna glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of her house. "Hour two, you're not busy, son?" ask Yumna. His son is afraid that he still has a lot of college work. Especially lately his bachelor is seen often holding a laptop and paper that does not forget to be beside his son.
"No Bun, this other thing is also about to be finished," he replied looking at the Mother with a soft gaze.
"Emm yasudah's. There is still an hour left, now the mother wants to settle in the kitchen first yes, because the mother has not been cleanin," said Yumna who was nodded by the child.
Yumna left the child who was still busy with his laptop. The foot stepped into the kitchen to clean up what he had not had time to finish.
Dirty dishes are finished Yumna finish, now only cooking utensils are still dirty only cauldron and water boiled place.
An hour had passed, now Yumna was ready to go to his shop to see the state of the store that he had not been to for a week.
While Ali has been waiting on the bike that will bring him and the mother according to the wishes of the mother an hour ago.
"Nih Bun," said Ali handed the helmet to the mother.
Yumna receives the helmet that Ali gave her. The woman was wearing a helmet to her head. After that Yumna rode the motorbike that had been turned on by Ali.
Both the mother and son left their homes. Before leaving Yumna did not forget to lock the door of her house. It didn't take long, Ali and Yumna finally arrived at the store. Yumna got off the bike and headed straight for the shop.
"Assalamu'alaikum," said Yumna when the store at this time no one came to shop.
"Wa'alaikumsalam Buk," replied Yumna's employee.
"Where are you, healthy?" ask Yumna to her employees.
"Alhamdulillah Buk healthy," they answered in unison like a disciple answering a question from his teacher.
"Thank God, I'm sorry I didn't bring anything to change a snack. You know, I didn't stop by" said Yumna. Indeed, every Yumna visited, he always brought the fruits of his hands to his employees.
After quite a pleasantry, Yumna looked at the state of her shop that still had a lot of stock. Maybe a small part of what he will buy later.
